The Society of Behavioral Medicine (SBM) recommends that Congress increase funding for fruit and vegetable production and intake in The Farm Bill reauthorization. Analysis of the U.S. Department of Agriculture's databases indicates that the availability of fruits and vegetables in the food supply is at half or less than half of what is needed to meet federal dietary recommendations for Americans. Based on the extant literature, SBM supports including funding allocations for fruit and vegetable production, including fruits and vegetables in commodity programs, providing additional insurance subsidies for producing fruits and vegetables, and maintaining or increasing funding for initiatives that promote fruit and vegetable intake. To avoid some of the unintended consequences of increasing support for fruit and vegetable production, new insurance products should be developed in collaboration with groups representing fruit and vegetable producers.
行为医学学会（SBM）建议国会在《农场法案》重新授权中增加水果和蔬菜生产和摄入的资金。对美国农业部数据库的分析表明，食品供应中水果和蔬菜的供应量仅为满足美国人联邦饮食建议所需量的一半或更少。基于现有文献，SBM 支持包括水果和蔬菜生产资金分配、将水果和蔬菜纳入商品计划、为生产水果和蔬菜提供额外保险补贴以及维持或增加促进水果和蔬菜摄入的倡议资金。为了避免增加对水果和蔬菜生产支持的一些意外后果，应该与代表水果和蔬菜生产者的团体合作开发新的保险产品。
